According to a recent article from Público (publico.pt), Brazilian citizens who enter Portugal as tourists will soon be able to apply for residency in the country, facilitating the process of legal stay. This measure is part of an effort to enhance cooperation between Portugal and Brazil, further strengthening the ties between the two Lusophone countries.

Currently, Brazilians wishing to establish themselves in Portugal face a series of bureaucratic requirements to obtain residency. However, the proposed new legislation aims to simplify this process, allowing Brazilians to submit their applications after entering Portuguese territory, without the need to return to Brazil to formalise the documentation.

According to the news, this change would bring significant benefits for mobility between the two nations, as well as increase the number of Brazilian residents in Portugal, which already has one of the largest foreign communities in the country.

Although the specific details of the process are still under discussion, the measure is expected to come into effect in the coming months, providing a more accessible pathway for those wishing to make Portugal their new home.
